Nissan Micra C+C road tests and consumer car reviews

Nissan Micra C+C 1200 n-tech 2010

I decided to downsize my Vectra for a smaller car. The first time I saw the micra I wasn’t impressed. Two door, small boot, high outline. Maybe underpowered. Decided to take a chance & bought one. Saved £200 right away on tax and insurance. Took the car for a run round Snowdonia, set the sat-nav and away we went. What a shock, thought I was driving a sports car compared with the Vectra. Fast cornering, perfect steering & roadholding, nippy liveley engine. Reached destinations by shortest routes. No one overtook me and I stayed within speed limits. This car is no ladies car, you need all your driving skills and if you are not 100% alert in can give you white knuckles. I am 73 years old and this car is the best that I have ever driven. In my opinion the car will save you money and give performance from day one.

Nissan Micra C+C 2006

I bought the C+C when it was launched in the UK in January 2006. Having owned Micra’s for as long as I can remember. The C+C has just blew me away. I know that it cost me twice as much as my previous Micra’s but the quality was immediately apparent in everything about it, particularly the road holding and handling. Two and a half years on and I have just bought a 2008 model and it is even better. Well Done Nissan. The best sporty car ever produced.

Paid £4200, yesterday, at auction for an ’06 C+C for my daughter (learner, 17) because the insurance was only £800 fully comp. and she liked it better than a Fiesta! Glad to hear it seems reliable and doesn’t leak too much - Aldo B from Renfrewshire

Nissan Micra C+C 1.4 Visia C+C 2dr 2006

I learnt to drive in a Nissan Micra (many years ago!) and it looked nothing like this!!! Gorgeous car and very, very nice to drive. I also like the fact you don’t see many of them about, which think makes it a bit special. It is a very girly car so won’t appeal to everyone but I think it’s a real gem.

Nissan Micra C+C 1.6 Tekna 2007

Its a lovely car for me but a bit short on legroom if you are on the taller side. Decent price and fun to drive.
